- Desert recommends 10,000 Speed.
- Base income: $280K per second. Grow time: about 30 minutes.
- It's the best pet in Desert by a mile.

One Royal Sphinx out-earns about 17 Sand Spiders. That's why it's worth waiting for.
How to get a Royal Sphinx
- Reach at least 10,000 Speed, ideally more.
- Stand near the Desert nests when the reset timer is about to roll.
- If a Royal Sphinx Egg spawns, grab it fast and head straight home.
- Drop it in a pen. It hatches in about 30 minutes, even while you're offline.

Tips
- Overshoot Speed: a Cosmic egg is heavy. 10,000 Speed empty-handed isn't 10,000 Speed carrying it.
- Bat first: other players will swing at you on the way back.
- Mutations matter: a Golden or Rainbow Sphinx multiplies that $280K/s. See mutations.
- Protect the pen: a fresh Sphinx makes your garden a raid target.
Ignore anyone selling "Sphinx spawn scripts" or exploits. They're scams or bannable, and usually both.
The Royal Sphinx is the first pet that makes Steal An Egg feel like you're actually getting rich. If you're stuck in Desert, wait for it. It's a huge jump for your income.
